+- The Agora started very fast (it was pleasant) and then proceeded to get very slow (with features, but mostly really with the number of nodes+edges that it's handling, see stats in [[nodes]] if interested).
+- It could be fast again -- we just need to fix some issues :)
+- As of right now, very often the Agora takes almost 10s (!) to load some pages, particularly when under load. There's a variety of reasons this happens -- I could write about them here but right now I'd rather just go ahead and try to fix them ;)
+	- Doing pomodoros today, [[2022-03-20]], to try to address this issue.
+	- When starting benchmarking, dev.anagora.org/do is regularly taking 3.7s to load (measured with [[time curl]]). In production this is often longer, but this seems like a good test node (because of the amount of pushes it has, which I think is related to the slowdown).
+		- The *first* load after restarting the dev server is often 10s, which is closer to what we'd see in prod (because it needs to load+process the whole Agora graph).

+			- Reach out if you think it's the wrong call! But I'd rather go with the Python community standard by default and not impose an extra burden on contributors (to override their editor defaults).

+		- LATER [[sqlite]] experiment
+		- LATER I should update to Python 3.8 so I can use f-strings with = at the end to print variable name and value in one swoop.
